The ion-molecule reactions of CH3F and CH2Cl2 were examined in the gas phase using a high-pressure mass spectrometer. The ionic products of CH3F were mainly CH2F+, C2H6F+, and CH4F+. In the CH2Cl2 system the main product was CHCl2+ together with smaller amounts of CH2Cl+, CH3Cl2+, and several condensation ions. The ionic reactivity of the two compounds was compared to that of other halomethanes. Rate coefficients and reaction cross sections for many primary reactant ions were measured as a function of the ion exit energy.

Seven of the major secondary ions in the high-pressure mass spectrum of cyclopropane have been studied. A method has been developed for studying concurrent ion–molecule reactions and it has been shown that four of the secondary ions are the products of more than one reaction. Cross sections for the separate reactions are reported. The appearance potentials of the major primary ions in the mass spectrum of cyclopropane have been measured.

The ion-molecule reactions of CH2F2 in the gas phase were studied using two mass spectrometers, one fitted with a medium-pressure ion source and the other with an ion-trap source. The main reaction was the formation of CH2F+ from CHF2+. The molecular ion and its proton transfer reaction forming CH3F2+ were of lesser importance. The only condensation ion formed was C2H4F3+. Reaction cross sections and rate coefficients for a number of ions at exit energies of 0.2-3.3 eV were measured.

A Bendix time of flight mass spectrometer has been modified to enable the determination of some ion-molecule reaction cross sections in the energy range 1 — 100 eV.In the reactions studiedX+ + D2 → XD++Dwhere X may be Ar, N2 or CO, the results obtained agree with the predictions of the polarization theory in the range below 10 eV despite the fact that no intermediate complex is formed at these energies. Between about 10—50 eV where spectator stripping occurs the cross section follows an approximate E-l dependence. Above these energies the results are consistent with a transition to a region in which knock-on processes predominate and where an impulse approximation treatment would be valid.

The ion-molecule reactions of eight highly halogenated derivatives of methane were studied in the gas phase using a mass spectrometer operated at high pressures. The compounds studied were CHCl3, CHCl2F, CHClF2, CHF3, CCl4, CCl2F2, CClF3, and CF4. These ionic systems were found to be less reactive than those of methane or the methyl and methylene halides. The main reactions observed were described as being halide ion transfer processes. The energy dependence of the cross sections and the rate coefficients of the reactant ions were determined.� Many rate coefficients for reactions between ions and polar molecules were found to be independent of the ion energy. Brief studies of the negative spectra at high pressures were also made.

The ion-molecule reactions of UF6 in the gas phase were studied in a mass spectrometer fitted with a medium-pressure ion source. The main reactions were the collision-stabilized formation of U2F11+ from UF5+, U2F10+ from UF4+ and U3F16+ from U2F10+. Rate coefficients for the reactions of UF5+ and UF4+ with UF6 and the distribution of their products were found to depend upon the ion kinetic energy.
